or The National opera Company
Mile. Giuri. The Great Premiere
Danseuse, to Appear Here.
The production of ''Faust' by the Nation
al (American) Opera company at Carll's
Opera House next Thursday evening will be
without doubt the grandest musical event
ever offered in this city. The directors OF
the New Haven Concert association, under
whose auspices the opera is to be given, have
been and are doing everything that can be
done to make the entertainme. t a success.
The prices of seats are reasonable and the
sale will be conducted in the fairest manner
possible. In addition to the well known ar
fists in the cast, the chorus of one hundred
singers and the orchestra of sixty musicians
all under the direction of Theodore Thomas,
the entire ballet consisting of eighty dancers
and above all Mile. Marie Giuri, without
doubt the most finished dancer of her day.
During the recent engagement in Boston
Mile. Giuri captivated all by her grace and
ease of movement and her beauty and at
Effectiveness. The Boston Herald thus de-
scribes her superb dancing at the Boston
theater, last week:
Her every motion contains the very quintessence
of her art shows that she is easily its

astonishing and that leave an impression upon the
spectator that will long be retained.
In response to the inquiries of Herald re-
porter Mile. Giuri gave short sketch of her
life. She was born at Trieste and at very
early age went to Milan, whers her brother
in-law, who was dancer and ballet master,
initiated her into her profession. In 1879
she made her debut at the Theater Imperial,
Berlin, in the ballet spectacle F'Fan-
tasca" and was at once successful
Theater Sal Verne, Milan. In 1880 she ap-
peared in "Gisela," "Coppelia," "India, "
'SMelusinan and other advertisements at the
Theater Imperial, Warsaw. For five sue
cessiye years she filed engagements at this
theater and at the end of each season the
CT liens gave her a present and al invitation
to return. In 1888 and 1884, Mile. Giuri
also appeared at Covent Garden, London,
at the Lavadia Theater, St. Petersburg, at
the Theater Royal, Rome, and at Boulogne,
where at ons performance she received no
less than 1850 bouquets of flowers.
NJ Mamert Bibeyran, the ballet master of
the National Opera company, speaks in the
highest terms of Mile. Giuri's abilities and
says that she is beyond doubt at the head
of her profession. He says that during the
rehearsals and in her studies she is never
tired or complaining, but is always amiable
and tractable and accommodating to those
about her. N. Bibeyran also informs US that
in this respect she furnishes striking con-
trast with most premiere danseuses.
Of course the ballet is but single feature
of Thursday evenings entertainment, but
the public can rest assured that every d etail
necessary to the production of grand opera
will be attended to, and that the presenta
ton of "Faust" will be a grand one. The
sale of reserved seats begins Monday at
Carl's Opera House at a. M, continuing
there that day, and the next morning the
sale will be resumed at Peck's bookstore at
ga. m. No person can buy more than ten
tickets. Such is the eagerness to secure a
good pick of seats that deputies" were in
line last night for the sale and ''staked their
claims" according to position.
